This is only some of what the 858 has done during annual training this year

October drill was our annual weapons qualification. I'm very proud of how well we performed, despite the long hours and too-dry-for-tracers but wet-enough-for-rain weather! We also had classes on evaluations, maintenance, our new mission essential tasks, and the Army substance abuse program.

As we go in to this November, I want to remind everyone that November 8th is election day, and I encourage you to look into each candidate/issue on your ballot and cast your vote!

This September drill, we had 3 main events. First, we had our pre-marksmanship training to get ready for October's weapons qualification. This year, we used a laser-based system to help review the fundamentals. Second, we did a practice hurricane load-out, where we physically verified that our load plan was good by lining up all of the hurricane-essential equipment with their assigned truck and trailer. And third, on Sunday afternoon we had a family day, and great weather for it!
I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather. Stay safe, and I look forward to seeing you later this month!
